Light Transport in Tissue

Three-dimensional solution of the diffusion equation

The next few subsections detail a three-dimensional solution to the diffusion equation. The first part gives a formal solution in terms of a Green's function for the diffusion equation. The next section gives the Green's function for a slab bounded by non-scattering media. The last section gives explicit expressions for the solutions to the diffusion equation for various irradiation profiles.
